BT wouldn't offer me any deals so I've moved to Sky, today was actually the changeover day. I am getting 12 months free broadband on a 12 month contract, so I'm only paying line rental and will be free to change when the contract expires. It's not fibre but the speed is fine for our family requirements. I'm only paying £6 per month for the basic TV package too. I phoned to cancel a few months ago because I was planning to switch to Now TV with an entertainment package at £6 per month. They offered me TV for the same price.

Yes, those automatically renewing contracts were outlawed a few years ago.

You do have to be quite careful with BT! Any change to almost anything (such as changing from limited download to unlimited broadband) will trigger a 12-month contract extension.
